For better or worse, our parents have access to social media and it’s technically not illegal for them to use it. When they do, however, the results are often hilarious, intentionally or not. Other times they are genuinely wholesome and sweet in ways that the internet isn’t’ always prepared for and our cold hearts are moved. Either way as social media becomes an ever-larger part of everyone’s lives, more and more of these moms and dads have had their antics go viral, spreading their boomer message to mortified children across the globe. However, sometimes they teach us important lessons, whether we like it or not.
